Mid-level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in cloud SaaS and accessible web apps

Waterloo, Canada6y exp

“Frontend engineer who leads end-to-end delivery of complex workflow-driven React + TypeScript products on top of Rails/GraphQL backends, with a strong emphasis on typed API contracts, scalable architecture, and automated quality gates. Shipped major features (e.g., inventory reservation at Jobber) using feature-flagged rollouts, close QA collaboration, and performance-focused iteration.”

“Robotics software engineer with ~7 years of ROS/ROS2 experience spanning Mars rover simulation/navigation, robot arm integration (URDF/MoveIt/ros2_control), and medical magnetic actuation systems using RGB-D feedback. Built a 5-DOF CNC-like magnetic capsule navigation prototype end-to-end and has deep hands-on skill debugging real-time control issues (CAN, encoder timing, controller tuning) plus PLC/Modbus-to-ROS2 integration.”

Senior Frontend Engineer specializing in React and TypeScript

Kitchener, Canada11y exp

“Frontend engineer with deep experience modernizing KYC flows at Carta, including rebuilding country-specific KYC forms into a scalable configuration + validation-schema system that cut new-jurisdiction support from 2–3 months to ~2 weeks. Strong on quality and rollout practices (E2E/backend testing, early QA engagement, staged/A-B rollouts) and performance optimization for heavy React/TypeScript dashboards using Intersection Observers for lazy loading.”

Senior Front-End Software Engineer specializing in accessible, high-performance web apps

Toronto, Canada6y exp

“Frontend engineer who led the 2025 end-to-end launch of the Score Casino web platform, integrating a new regulated brand into an existing monorepo with scalable theming, Next.js routing changes, and supporting Docker/SRE deployment work. Emphasizes quality at scale through visual regression testing, Datadog/Bugsnag observability, and test-suite redesign (parameterized theme tests) that reduced CI flakiness; shipped the launch two months ahead of schedule while meeting GLI submission standards.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Developer specializing in React/Angular and Node.js

Toronto, Ontario6y exp

“Frontend lead who owned architecture and quality for TELUS’s Next Generation Sales Platform, building a modular React+TypeScript experience that scaled across wireline/wireless products and channels. Experienced in hardening UIs against unreliable backend integrations (API abstraction, retries/fallbacks, caching, logging) and delivering real-time dashboards via WebSockets, with strong CI/CD testing and blue-green release practices for high-stakes launches like Black Friday.”

Kyle Wilson

Senior Technical Lead specializing in accessible, scalable web applications

Waterloo, Canada10y exp

“Frontend lead who shipped an enterprise social feed, insights dashboard, and a net-new communications platform using React + TypeScript. Known for building scalable quality practices with QA (including automated test suite alignment), introducing RTK Query org-wide, and managing phased, feature-flagged rollouts while coordinating closely with product/design and senior engineering stakeholders.”

“Frontend engineer with hands-on experience revamping IPTV native TV apps (Android TV, Xfinity, LG, Samsung), building scalable, lazy-loaded home page and content experiences that remain stable as backend playlists change. Emphasizes component/modular architecture (including MVP on Android TV), strong quality practices (CI, unit tests, code reviews, manual device testing), and modern React+TypeScript state management using Zustand with clean separation of business logic from UI.”

Mid-level Robotics Software Developer specializing in ROS and autonomous mobile robots

Kitchener, Canada4y exp

“System-level robotics software engineer with production experience in both ROS 1 and ROS 2 who served as technical owner for an initial ROS1→ROS2 migration, including catkin→ament/colcon and refactoring core communication nodes. Strong in hardware-validated integration work—debugged intermittent message drops by tuning ROS 2 QoS for embedded firmware interfaces and stabilized real-time navigation behavior through timing/telemetry analysis and cross-team coordination.”

“Frontend engineer who has owned end-to-end delivery of multi-step commerce workflows, including an e-commerce cabinet customization platform and a food/grocery pickup ordering flow. Emphasizes scalable React architecture (Redux/RTK Query), strong automated quality (TDD, Jest/RTL, ESLint/Prettier/Husky), and performance/cost optimization via API caching and reduced AWS Lambda calls.”

“Frontend-focused engineer who led a full-scale CMS/dashboard build using React (with TypeScript), plus Node.js microservice APIs on AWS Lambda and MySQL. Emphasizes scalable component architecture, feature-based code organization, performance profiling via Chrome DevTools, and disciplined release practices (CI/CD, UAT gating, production monitoring) in fast-paced delivery cycles.”

“Frontend engineer with co-op experience at Nokia and prior work at Nimble, delivering React/TypeScript single-page onboarding flows and internal web apps. Builds from Figma to production React, emphasizes modular architecture and consistent UI via Material UI, and applies Jest-based unit/integration testing plus lazy loading to improve reliability and performance in both new and existing codebases.”

“Built and operated a real-time student event/party discovery platform with map-based search, RSVP, and authentication using React/TypeScript, Node.js, and Firebase Firestore. Demonstrates strong backend correctness under concurrency (transactions, idempotency, retries/backoff) and solid API product thinking (versioning, Swagger docs, structured errors, cursor pagination), including custom geospatial querying via Haversine filtering.”
